If an athlete buys an ownership stake in a team and no one knows it, does it make a sound?
What’s the point of owning a sports franchise if you can’t make irresponsible trades, overpay role players, furtively watch from a dimly lit owner’s box or make Roger Goodell eat shit?...

Brett Favre still owes cash in Mississippi boondoggle
Brett Favre is now on the other end of a handoff, as the Office of the State Auditor in Mississippi has given the attorney general’s office the go-ahead to try to get back the nearly quarter of a million dollars that the Hall-of-Fame quarterback owes his home state....

Owners’ miserly proposals might have something to do with their RSN cash going POOF!
We haven’t exactly entered baseball’s nuclear winter yet. That’s still about two weeks away, with the Dec. 1st deadline of the current CBA expiring and everyone expecting a lockout the next day.

Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t need to apologize for anything
I realize that having to contemplate how much Teddy Bridgewater means to your team is just north of dreadful. I understand if Broncos fans don’t really care if he gets hurt or not, feeling that a ship steered by Drew Lock is headed for the sirens’ rocks just as quickly and hamfistedly. But everythin...

2021 Rookie QB Rankings: The Mac Daddy rules

Week 10 NFL Powerless Ranking: There's a new team at the bottom
We’re in the second half of the NFL season, and now we know who the contenders are and which teams we can write off as pretenders. We can talk about the contenders another time because this list is about the least fortunate teams in the league. So, let’s check out the worst of the worst from Week 10...

This Mike White charade is over....

Y’all must have Forgot! The Cowboys, Patriots and Chiefs sent out a stern reminder that they are for real this season
Order was mostly restored to the universe on Sunday. Following a bizarre Week 9 in which some of the best teams in the NFL lost to residents of Club .500 And Below, the top of the NFL mostly handled its business in Week 10, and some performances were quite convincing....

Aaron Rodgers returns to his cocoon
I guess it’s surprising that we didn’t find out that Aaron Rodgers was a galaxy-brained dope earlier, given all that is there to protect him from his own idiocy. We could have written his postgame press conference yesterday by memory, given how often we have heard similar after a player does somethi...

Big Ben goes on COVID list, but unlike Q-Aaron, you can believe he’s really vaccinated
We have entered a world where Ben Roethlisberger is the Gallant to Aaron Rodgers’ Goofus....

Jon Gruden wants the last word on the NFL and Roger Goodell
We haven’t heard the last of Jon Gruden yet.

Trevon Moehrig deserves more respect than what he’s getting
We are more than halfway through the NFL season, and we’re finally starting to get a grasp on which rookies are for real.

NFL Week 10: Underdogs are rising up
If you’d asked anyone outside of Miami who was going to win the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Ravens and Dolphins, I’d assume about 95 percent of people would have said the Ravens. There was no discernible metric where the Dolphins had the advantage, but you can’t measure heart, I gues...

We were thisclose from Bill Belichick having to play against his last two quarterbacks in the same season....

The AFC is terrible and they’re leading us to doom
It’s probably not fair to go in on a team for a bad performance on a Thursday night. Thursday Night Football shouldn’t exist, there isn’t enough time for teams to recover from the previous week, and for the most part something is always off. It’s a game of bumper cars where everyone’s blindfolded. B...

NFL Sunday Ticket on a streaming service? Yes... PLEASE! 🙏
The dream may finally soon become a reality: NFL Sunday Ticket accessible without a satellite dish. The Athletic reported in September that the NFL’s preferred destination for Sunday Ticket is Apple, but this process is obviously going to be a competition with the rights going to the highest bidder....
